Guys i am starting a "highlights of commercial profiles" thread soon, just to give back to this GREAT community and to do some thing useful for you guys. Since i have probably the largest collection from here so far, (worth more than my kemper and remote) i feel its my duty to support you guys and the vendors.
I just wanted to give some feedback on the VH4 stuff i have mean time since every one has been messaging me
I have been running a 9 string, Strat ,LP + NEW Loomis 7 string (black outs) through them.
ill do my best to describe with out the soundcloud (i still need to get a good recording set up sorry for that)
First : Michael Britt VH4
Its been great for country/Blues/ cleans/classic Rock and clean leads, SC/HB
The CH3 N3 profile has a great amount of dirt to make it not heavy but shine on SC/HB's
Second : Kosten (Free ones) VH4 + Pay pack (updated)
Has been absolutely great for thrashy and heavy metal , especially on the LP/HB's
Have tested his pay VH4 pack and there is a WIDE range of heavy metal tones (old school to modern)
with both Mesa cabs, great for active and HB's. If you like the free stuff this is essential
Third: Lasse Lammert
Quiet a versatile profile for heavy riffage, its will give your Strat BALLs, did okay on the 9 string (passive pickups)
I did find similar tones from Deadlight studio's pack tho SC/HB's. I would of liked more crunch and clean profiles for the price
But to Lasses credit , he did say he was going to release some crunch ones free in due time. I dont mind paying the price for the
one profile since he has released quality free stuff, i felt it was a way to say thank you.
He obviously has a talent, but i feel could do greater packs matching the standard of range thats in the other VH4 packs here
just a suggestion, no hate or bitterness.
Forth: Tonehammar
For heavy players , ITS WINNING SO FAR, the Mesa , Hesu cabs and range they have done cant be ignored
the cleans make for great diversity and the crunches sounds for SC/HB's are all usable. Its a different flavor to Michael Britts, (the clean and crunch stuff)
but it has all the range you need and there are plenty of worth while tones
for SC/HB's
Fifth : Andy from the Amp Factory
I would not say it has stood out better than Michael Britts diversity and Tonhamars there, but for SC/HB's it still has a worth while color
thats usable. Andy still has managed to do some thing different.
Sixth - Guido's VH4
this really does complete the set for "in between" the styles of heavy rock and some PERFECT cleans
LEADS are perfect. I would not say the VH4 set is complete with out Guido's outstanding for SC/HB's
7th - Sound side VH4 pack
120 profiles from clean to crunch (very effective using HB's for crunch)
This pack is certainly one of the largest VH4 packs, there are certainly usable cleans and crunches for HB's
Will ;post the Strat stuff when done. He has some specific GEM"s in there like Dumble rock (a VH4 profile)
Verdict MOSTLY ALL USABLE
Sinmix Diezel VH4 pack
First of all the low gain and Strat uses are going to be pleased with this pack.
Try DL 35 for Stat and single coils, he has done an EXCEPTIONAL job on the LOW gain stuff.
Every thing from mild rock to some great cleans, very clear tone. great Indie rock stuff man.
The Marshal cabs are GREAT for that.
I was even playing 99 red balloons (ska version) LOL
Harry was playing Zz tops foxy lady ..its got some RANGE this baby..
Humbuckers clean up well with the low gain pack its very
usable, he has done an extra effort with this pack compared to all his other stuff (still great )
Humbuckers are equally as good for the high gain stuff, VERY usable
Try DF 10, they range from hard rock to balls to to the wall metal.
Guys there are some blue rock, to cleans to light alternative rock and very heavy with this pack.
single and HB's. He has captured the channels well IMO, there is some thing for EVERY ONE HERE.
Its an amazing pack guys, i would say for the price this has he most DIVERSITY OF SOUNDS.
I still stand by the others reviews and say that your not wasting your money getting them.
But this pack is very usable and i would be surprised if your not a metal player
and are not satisfied with this. Metal it us up there and as great as Tonehammars
The cab range is what makes this pack so DIVERSE
Okay, i did my best to be fair, i wish i could upload some sounds to show you , will try to get them up when i can ,
feel free to post your VH4 stuff, ill add more in due course. Hope its helped some out there
Much support
Ash
